Description: | The Prince of Wales' visit to Ebbw Vale, 21 February 1918.
The Prince's car arrives at Ebbw Vale. He wears Army uniform and is accompanied by the Honourable Sir Sidney Greville and Lord Treowan. He greets the assembled dignitaries and inspects a guard of honour from the local Cadet Corps and the Monmouthshire volunteers. Wearing collier's overalls and cap, and carrying a safety lamp, he emerges from a visit to the underground coalface at Victoria Colliery. He inspects Lord Treowan's nearby steelworks and meets a group of VAD nurses at the local hospital. At Cardiff docks he is shown various light naval weapons including a mine projector (?). He leaves to the cheers of the people. In the last scene he greets one of the workers of Guest, Keene and Nettlefold Ltd.
